Additional information:

Key contact:Good communication is very important to everyone: the patient, the family carer, relatives, friends and the nursing team. We would therefore be grateful if one person such as the family carer or a relative or friend becomes the 'key contact' to enquire about the patient's progress during their stay on the ward, and then passes this information on to others who may be concerned.

All other information can be found in the 'Staying as an Inpatient' booklet.
